Ellendale looks so peaceful and picturesque at the same time! What a great idea to break the driving and see something interesting too. Good to know such a pretty falls as Russell Falls has an easy trail. Tasmania remains one of my bucket list places to visit one day.

Ellendale is such a beautiful, charming village. Staying in a tiny cottage in the midst of a tiny village is just perfect. I’d love to do that. Tasmania has 60 great short-walks? That’s a perfect start to build my itinerary. The hike to Russell falls & the falls itself, looks awesome.

The drive from Hobart to Stratham looks like quite a scenic one with 99 bends stretch a smooth one. The village of Ellendale idyllic and it’s surprising that it has a population of just 285 people. And the view of the midlands from the cottage is spectacular! And it’s amazing that the farm has its own hydroelectricity generator.

Ellendale is charming. I can imagine myself spending a weekend there. It seems so relaxing and serene.

Also, thank you for the heads-up regarding the road between Queenstown and Strahan. This is good to know.

Ellendale sounds like such a pretty and relaxing place, the perfect one to break your trip for an overnighter. The cottage looks very charming as well, and I love that it has that cute veranda overlooking the water. It’s great that there were a few things to do in Ellendale as well, like the Russel Falls. Shame that the road to Strahan wasn’t scenic and it was in such bad shape. I love driving but I get bored if there are no pretty views along the road.

Ellendale looks like it would be such a lovely spot to explore and discover more of! It seems like the ideal spot for a summer road trip through, where you can stop and spot all of the local attractions and enjoy its natural beauty, too.

I also don’t like driving all day and always try to break up long distances to experience more of a country. Tasmania has been on my list for a while, and the distances there seem quite vast. Ellendale looks lovely, and Russell Falls seems truly impressive! Thanks for the beautiful photos!

I’d never heard of Ellendale. Staying at the farm with sheep ambling by, and close to a national park, sounds like a great stopping point.

This sounds like the absolute perfect leisurely drive, and a beautiful cottage to spend the night in is such a great bonus! Tasmania is high on my list to spend considerable time. I love the picturesque views and small towns and have had fun exploring them through this post and others on your blog.
